Chapter 99: Receiving gifts is not a thing
Hitler is a figure like Qin Shi Huang, but Hitler failed to unify Europe.
What kind of man was Himmler! He had been with Hitler for a long time, and Himmler climbed from a chicken farmer to the position of general leader of the SS, not because of his ability, but because of his knowledge of Hitler.
Himmler deeply understood that Hitler did not care about the greed of his subordinates, and Goering was an example, and Goering was so corrupt that Hitler did not pursue Goering's responsibility.
Therefore, the fact that Rommel received a large amount of gift money in France is simply good news for Hitler, which shows that Rommel has shortcomings! It is not good for talented people with shortcomings to be controlled by him, the Führer.
Hitler, a civilian-born Führer, was most afraid of losing power, which Hitler could not tolerate the most, and Hitler did not even have the heart to reprimand Rommel for his confidant to accept some gifts.
This is Himmler's brilliance, pit people or help people, do not leave a trace, Himmler pit people or help people, the effect is not very obvious in the short term, but the long-term effect is very significant.
In a word, Himmler is a rotten person, a villain, fortunately, Rommel at this time is no longer as rigid and stubborn as history, if you inadvertently offend these rotten people and villains, the trouble is so big that you can't imagine.
Historically, Rommel was finally given death by Hitler, which was the bad medicine given by Himmler and the chief of staff Bauman, and a lot of evidence about Rommel's involvement in the assassination was fabricated, which is the fate of offending rotten people and villains.
After carefully reading the telegram sent by Himmler, Hitler pondered for a while, and immediately smiled, and the informant telegram was also shredded by Hitler and thrown into the wastebasket.
……
The German top brass was busy working out the "Sea Lion Plan" to attack Britain at this time, and they did not have time to take care of Rommel, and Rommel could also let go of his hands and toss.
Rommel had a lot to toss, toss his Seventh Panzer Army, activate the French economy, integrate French factories and enterprises, and so on.
Of course, not everything was done by Rommel himself, and that was simply not a realistic question.
There is a genius like Speer in the economy, and Rommel only needs to formulate a big strategy, and Rommel will not intervene in the specific implementation rules.
For those French who took refuge, Rommel also made the best use of his talents, allowing them to shine in their posts, and those who were incapable were definitely out of class.
The intelligence provided by Emerson is an important reference material for Rommel, and the Rothschilds' intelligence gathering capabilities have reached the point of pervasiveness in France.
Of course, Rothschild may also take the opportunity to insert his own men into the French puppet government, so Rommel just took the information sent by Emerson as a reference, and Rommel was firmly in control of the specific personnel rights, and it was impossible for Emerson to make any waves.
At this time, the only thing Rommel could toss was his Seventh Panzer Army, and all kinds of actual combat training continued one after another, and the suburbs of Paris were filled with gunfire and cannon rumbling every day.
Rommel never spared ammunition in training troops, and good soldiers were fed with actual combat and bullets, and Rommel was convinced of this.
Rommel's ammunition for training troops was already far beyond the needs of the German army's training troops, and it would be unrealistic if all ammunition was shipped from Germany.
In order to solve this problem, and to reduce the trouble of ammunition in the future, Rommel ordered a large amount of ammunition in France.
Many of the weapons and ammunition in France are of a different caliber from those of Germany, but this does not mean that France cannot produce the ammunition used by the German army.
France has always been a big arms seller, and before World War II, they sold weapons and ammunition all over the world, although many countries around the world used German-made weapons, and the caliber of ammunition was of course also the caliber of Germany.
In order to sell weapons and ammunition all over the world, France actually produces German caliber ammunition, but the quantity is not as large as that of their own caliber ammunition.
The ammunition consumed by Rommel was all produced by the French military industry, and the cost of training was of course paid by the French government of Visy.
The military expenses of the German garrison in France were all paid by the French government of Visy, which was stipulated in the Franco-German Treaty, and in this case, Rommel was afraid of the cost of training.
Rommel also asked his housekeeper Davide to quietly contact the oil company in France, but the housekeeper Davide told Rommel that he already had two oil companies under his name, and that there were two small and medium-sized oil fields in France that were Rommel's property.
Davide did not yet understand Rommel's consciousness that Rommel was an oil company that needed drilling equipment, and that the more the better, as long as all the drilling equipment that could be found in France was concentrated.
Of course, Rommel can't tell Davide, and now he hasn't sent troops to Africa yet! The whole of Germany was thinking about how to attack the British mainland, and no one would have thought that Germany would send troops to the African desert far away from the emperor.
Fortunately, Davide was a man of practical things, and he did not ask Rommel about the purpose of mobilizing oil drilling equipment.
Such a housekeeper is actually very interested in Rommel's appetite, never asking what should not be asked, never saying what should not be said, and doing things is also down-to-earth and diligent.
……
After He Fengshan and Rommel negotiated, he telegraphed to Lao Jiang about the amount of arms purchased and the payment with rare metals, and of course Rommel asked He Fengshan to come to France to be ambassador, and He Fengshan also reported it.
At this time, China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression had reached a time of great difficulty, and if there was no foreign aid, Lao Chiang's already not very resolute determination to resist the war would be shaken.
And Germany's re-arms sales to China are undoubtedly a lifesaver for Lao Chiang, although these weapons and equipment were captured by Germany from France, didn't Rommel, who was full of good feelings for China, give him a medium-sized arsenal?
With a stroke of the old Chiang's pen, He Fengshan's telegrams were all approved, and the telegram ordered Xiao Chiang and the ambassador to the Soviet Union to immediately go to meet Stalin.
The large amount of arms that China bought in the hands of Rommel could only be shipped back from the Soviet Union, and shipping was now a matter of no choice, because the southeast coast was occupied by Japan, and Germany was also blockaded by the British fleet, and China and Germany were a pair of brothers and sisters who could not go to sea.
At this time, Stalin was also terrified under the military pressure of Germany, and what Stalin was most afraid of was that little Japan would attack his Far East, and the Soviet Union would be attacked on both sides.
This was the last thing Stalin wanted, and little Japan had already revealed its ambitions for the territory of the Soviet Union, which is why the Soviet Union sent an air force to aid China.
